Friday of this week I'll drive down to Texas and finally escape North Idaho. North Idaho isn't exactly friendly to anime fans. To be frank, North Idaho isn't friendly to anyone with a college education. Teenage boys in convertible red sports cars don't drive faster than 15 miles per hour. Something's wrong here.

My wife has set up with our boys in a new house that I'm told has an office room. Austin has real comics/manga stores and other interesting possibilities. I'm hoping it opens the door to a new era.
